My work is about bridging cultures with creativity and care.
Hi, I’m Tülay, a coach and CQ® Certified Facilitator.
I’ve spent more than twenty years in game development, working in Germany, the UK, Canada, Sweden, and Spain. With Turkish roots and an international career, my work has always sat at the intersection of people, culture, and product.
I am:
An ICF Accredited Certified Coach (ACC) and EMCC-accredited coach and mentor
A CQ® Certified Facilitator with the Cultural Intelligence Center.
In my coaching practice, I bring this experience into a grounded, human space where we focus on what you can influence next—step by step.
As an ICF- and EMCC-accredited coach, I follow a recognised code of ethics and professional standards. This includes strict confidentiality, clear agreements about how we work together, respect for your autonomy, and an honest assessment of when coaching is appropriate – and when another form of support might be more suitable.
How can we work together
I support individuals and teams in the games industry to navigate careers, leadership, and collaboration with more clarity, confidence, and cultural awareness. I currently focus on two areas: I offer
